It was "hot" today.

I felt "hot" for the first time this summer. The highest temperature was around 25 degrees. In the morning, Ayako went to the neighborhood hall to help cleaning activity of the neighborhood association. I went to Furusato Noen. I stood beanpoles, and transplanted a tomato seedling and two sweet potatoes. The purple flowers of potatoes were about to come out. According to the TV news, in Honshu, including Tohoku district, it was a very hot day and in many places the highest temperature was over 35 degrees. So, I sent an e-mail to Tomoko in Sendai asking how she was, but I haven't received her answer yet.
In the soccer world cup tournament for under the age 17 being held in Mexico, Japan defeated New Zealand by 6-0, and promoted to the quarter final game against Brazil. I am looking forward to the game.

My personal history after the war  17
On the next Sunday, I was introduced by Mr.Araki to the members of the track and field club, and ran along a road with several men members. I could keep running consistently with the top runner all through the course, and I was praised by the other members. I thought I could run because I had walked a long distance to and from school every day in Miyagi.
